What was the name of the table at which Arthur's knights sat?

The table at which Arthur’s knights sat was called the Round Table.

The Round Table is the legendary fellowship table of King Arthur’s court. Its circular shape symbolizes equality: no knight sits at a permanent head, so the king’s champions are presented as peers within the order. The table also gives its name to the Knights of the Round Table, the most famous group of Arthurian warriors.

The earliest known literary reference appears in Wace’s *Roman de Brut*, written around 1155. Later writers greatly expanded the idea. In some romances, Arthur receives the table from Guinevere’s father, King Leodegrance; in others, Merlin or earlier kings are connected with its creation. The table’s size and number of seats vary by source.

The Round Table should not be confused with a literal historical artifact. It belongs to the evolving medieval legend, and its meaning is more important than any fixed design. The circle represents fellowship, shared honour, and the ideal of a united kingdom.
